Over 300 new Foundation and Undergraduate students, including 106 international students, began their journey at our iconic Chancellor Hall today. These students will enroll in various engineering, science, computing and business programmes. Registration was organised in a seamless way so students did not face long queues. Name tags, hostel keys and souvenirs were prepared at designated seats, and after welcoming remarks by the Business Planning, Marketing and Performance Team followed by Student Affairs, students proceeded directly to their allocated hostel rooms. Families and students captured the moment at our photo booths and visited partner booths from PTPTN, Bank Rakyat, Maybank, Bank Islam, Yayasan UTP, Billion and PETRONAS Shop. UTP Falcon, our university mascot, also greeted students and parents throughout the day, making the occasion even more memorable. UTP is dedicated to its vision “At the forefront of technology education and research, enabling a better future.” UTP is a university by industry for industry, and its structured internship, international exposure and industry relevant programmes prepare students to make an impact on society and the nation. We look forward to seeing this cohort return to Chancellor Hall for their grand convocation in the next 4 to 5 years. #UTPinMe #UTPRegistrationDay #UTPFoundation #UTPUndergraduate #ChancellorHall

In this episode, we sit down with Ir. Dr. Abdul Azim Abdul Rahman, a global engineering leader who has spent more than two decades building products, teams, and technologies across Asia, the US, Europe, and Japan. From Shimano to Sony to Steelcase, and now leading a research institute in China, Dr. Azim has seen firsthand how AI is transforming the way we research, design, and create. Together, we talk openly about how AI is speeding up discovery, enabling smarter and more sustainable product development, and reshaping how global teams work and innovate. Dr. Azim shares real stories from his career, practical examples from industry, and honest advice for students, lecturers, and engineers trying to find their place in this rapidly changing world. This conversation is insightful, down-to-earth, and filled with moments that remind us that AI is not here to replace us but it’s here to help us think bigger, collaborate better, and design with more purpose.

We all stepped through the same gates, found a family, and built a foundation. UTP is more than a university—it's a living legacy that gave us roots and wings. This is the story of our journey, our brotherhood, and our future.

Behind every proud smile today lies years of hard work, late nights, and unwavering support. Congratulations to the Class of 2025! Wherever you are in the future — in industries, communities, or new frontiers — carry with you the values that make you a UTP graduate: leadership, innovation, and purpose. To all who have supported, taught, and inspired them, this success is yours too. Together, we continue to advance technology for a sustainable future. 🌏 #25thutpconvo
